Beloved for their beauty, hostas come in an assortment of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures allowing the perfect fit into any shade-garden. Complete a visionary landscape with these lush and easy to grow foliage perennials. Originating from eastern Asia, hostas have traveled far to make their way into America’s heart. It’s no wonder this time-tested plant is one of the most popular shade-perennials in America.
Be creative; juxtapose the texture, color and structure of hostas in the landscape with other design elements to provide long lasting interest. Brighten shady areas with the vivid chartreuse variety H. ‘Sum & Substance’ or intense variegated varieties such as H. ‘Stained Glass’ and H. ‘Patriot’. Check our availability for other hardy varieties that are well suited to the north Texas region.
There are three important things to remember when caring for hostas: provide the plant with ample water, heavy shade, and deep rich soil. Protect these plants from slugs and deer. Use caution around pets as hostas are toxic to dogs, cats and horses if the foliage is ingested.
Tall flower stalks rise high above the foliage creating a summer delight!
